“Everyone thinks they can be a wedding planner these days,” complains Jen R., an independent wedding planner in California with eight years experience, who preferred to remain anonymous. “It’s hard to command a higher fee when there’s so much competition pushing rates down.” There’s a huge difference, however, between being a person who plans a wedding, and being a successful wedding planner who earns a decent living. Just like there are bargain-basement lawyers (think Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad) and rock-star lawyers who command $1,000 an hour. And you’d never hear that rock star lawyer complaining that there are “too many lawyers out there.” So how do you separate yourself from the pack? For starters, you have to know more than the competition when it comes to planning logistics, such as: How to create a venue cost comparison grid that factors in “hidden costs” of hosting the same wedding at different venues. How to keep guests wanting to film the ceremony with their phones from walking “into the shot” of the professional photographer. That two clients can both want “classical, but not too stuffy” and mean two completely different things. How to train your Bridezilla client to […]

Love is one of the eternal themes of a number of stories. Whether it is Romeo and Juliet, Jack and Rose or any number of characters in Richard Curtis films there is a story about people falling in love with each other. If you want to celebrate some kind of love in your life Talents & Productions have the acts to make an event your guests will…love! The kind of event you do depends on what you want to do and who you are doing it for. You may be a company that specialises in weddings or organising events and want to spread the word in a distinct way. Alternatively you may have an anniversary or Valentine’s Day is coming up and you want to show your chosen one how you feel in a way that is more powerful than a hundred cards and flowers! The idea of romance tends to conjure up certain images. One of the most powerful is the thought of two people hopelessly devoted to each other meeting in the moonlight. This has influenced one of our acts using this image to form their narrative. Hailing from France (a country well known for romance) […]

The Gulf state of Qatar is among the wealthiest countries in the world. But despite the affluence, increasingly extravagant weddings in Qatar are making it difficult for men, who pay for the celebrations, to foot the bill. Jamal Qassim said he spent 450,000 Qatari riyals ($123,600) on his wedding. He worked and saved for nine years to pay for it. “I didn’t even travel once outside of Qatar. I was saving and saving. I didn’t buy myself a fancy car.” He said he now regrets paying that much. At the end of 2012, he was in the process of getting a divorce. Marriage rates in Qatar have declined markedly over the last three years, which Qatar government statistics attribute to the high cost of marriage, as well as the advancing educational status of women and their rising participation in the work force. Figures also show Qatari women are having their first child at a later age and having fewer children overall. Divorce rates have risen since 2001. And local press reports say a quarter of marriageable Qatari women remain single. These are worrying trends for a country where nationals are already heavily outnumbered by migrants. Source: […]
